Jasmine and Macquin met at their illustrious university North Carolina A&T State University "AGGIE PRIDE" during their college years. They had always seen each other around but never actually talked to one another. One night Jasmine went to a party and seen Macquin was there. Jasmine told her girls "I better talk to him tonight or I might not ever talk to him". So she made her move and the two exchanged numbers. They texted back and forth but never actually hung out; until one day, Jasmine asked Macquin to take her and a friend to the liquor store during homecoming (they were babies at the time haha). Jasmine came to pick Macquin up with her friend in the car and Macquin was not happy about it. He didn't talk the entire car ride and Jasmine wasn't happy that he appeared to have an attitude the entire time. After that encounter, Jasmine and Macquin had not spoken in a year! Jasmine was done with him and Macquin was done with her. UNTIL... one-day Macquin sent Jasmine a message on Facebook. It would later come out that he had not talked to Jasmine because she had used him for alcohol (haha). The pair had their first date on October 24, 2013, and have been inseparable ever since.
On December 29, 2018, we went to Ruth Chris Steakhouse in Charlotte, NC which was meant to be a celebration dinner for all our accomplishments in 2018. While sitting at dinner, Macquin goes outside stating he forgot something and comes back with a photo album. The photo album consisted of pictures of us throughout our relationship. The last page of the photo album was left blank which according to Macquin would symbolize a new chapter in our lives. After we finished dinner, Macquin says "I think I forgot my wallet". I said, " I hope not because I didn't intend to pay for dinner tonight". He goes outside for a second time to check for his wallet and after being gone for some time he finally comes back saying he ordered dessert. When the waitress staff arrives with dessert, to my surprise on the dessert tray its states written in chocolate "WILL YOU MARRY ME". Macquin gets on one knee and the rest is history!
